The deal is set to expand TCI’s operations in Kansas and Texas.

TCI said it had been drawn to Success’ commitment to the “Cowboy Code of the West” — principles such as taking pride in your work, keeping promises and putting people first.

“What excites me most is the opportunity for shared growth. We’ll adopt some of Success’ best practices while bringing in our own strengths, and customers can expect the same outstanding service with expanded resources,” Flynn added.

Before the acquisition, TCI had 1,300 drivers and 2,300 power units, a representative said. In total, the company will have a combined 1,900 employees after the deal.

TCI offers full-service leasing, rentals, dedicated logistics, brokerage and used truck sales.
